NATIONAL DAIRY UNION Congressmen Address the Convention at the Morning Session. The Dairy Bill to Come Up in the House Tomorrow—The Ses- sions Yesterday. The session this morning of the second annual convention of the National Dairy Union was held in parlor 10 of Willard’s Hotel, instead of in Willard Hall. In the absence of Acting President James Hewes the meeting was called to order by George A. Boyce, presiden: of the New York Aux- iliary of the National Dairy Union. Repre- sentative W. H. Hatch, chairman of the House committee of agriculture, was the first speaker, and he notified the union that the Speaker of the Hovse of Repre- sentatives had set aside an hour tomorrow morning for the consideraticn of the Grout bill, the object of which is to prevent the imposition of adulterated dairy producfs on the public by investing in each state of the Union the right to make its own laws gov- erning such products in that state. Representative Grout, who followed Mr. Hatch, recited numerous facts and statis- tics in regard to dairy products. He fur- thor said that he is very anxious to aid the union by all the means in his power, and suggested that the Senators and Repre- sentatives in Congress be approached in- dividually in relation to the desires of the union as set forth in the Grout bill. W. S. Trimble, secretary of the National Grange, told of the interest taken in dairy subjects by his organization. Representa- tive Hainer of Nebraska, who was next called upon, stated as his opinion that the union can further its interests by dissem- inating iuformation among the people. According to Mr. Hainer, there is an ab- solute want of orsanization among the dairymen of the country. The speaker ad- vised the union to urge Congress to speed- ily pass the Grout-Hill bill, and to advocate the establishment of a dairy division in connection with the Department of Agri- culture. Important Industry. Charles W. Dabney, assistant secretary of agriculture, assured the meeting that Sec- retary Morton is anxious to do ell in his power to promote the dairy industry. Mr. Dabney characterized the dairy industry as the foundation of true rural economy, and he remarked that he regards the National Dairy Union as representing the greatest of tarming interests. The next speaker, Mr. J. A. North of New York, described at length the manner in which oleomargarine is being exported from this country labeled as butter, in direct vio- lation of the law. After several informal talks the union took a recess until 2 p.m., when ex-Gov. W. D. Hoard of Wisconsin and Fred. C. Schraub, New York state commissioner of agriculture, are booked for addresses. The union, in a body, will be received by the President late this after- noon, after which the majority of the mem- bers are expected to visit the Capitol. After sessions tomorrow morning and tomorrow afternoon the convention will adjourn. Yesterday's Session. In his paper on anti-oelo- legislation in Iowa yesterday afternoon Mr. H. K. Board- man of that state traced the history of the oleomargarine production and told how the Iowa legislature had enacted laws ccmpelling all imitation butter to be plain- ly labeled. Colonel Livingston was the next speaker, and he declared that the cotton industry is doomed in Georgia, and added that the prospect for success in the dairy business is very bright. In the evening a committee was appoint- ed to invite Senator Hill to be present at the session today. Treasurer Martin re- ported that after expending $1,600 during the year a balance of over $200 remained in the treasury of the union. The dairy commissioner of Massachusetts, Mr. Geo. M. Whittaker, told of the continued adop- tion of statutes in Massachusetts, until at present time a single sale of imitation but- ter is liable to incur a violation of five different laws. ————-__—_ REPORT ON ANTI-TOXINE. Consul Mason Gives a Description of the Process of Production. Frank Mason, United States consul at Frankport, has submitted to the Depart- ment of State a most interesting report on anti-toxire, the new curative for and preventive of diphtheria. He explains that he is impelled to do this because the sub- ject is about to engage the attention of Congress, because of the large number of inquiries for detailed information concern- ing anti-toxine and because Frankport is the only establishment where it has been produced commercially in quantities ade- quate to meet the rapidly increasing de- mand. He suggests the early publication of the report. Mr. Mason gives a clear and detailed de- scription of every step in the process of production of the new remedy, prefaced by an accurate historical sketch of its dis- covery and development. The factory at Frankport to which he refers is that at the “Farbroerke” at Hoeghst-on-Main. Sheep and goats at first émployed to pro- duce the serum were discarded because their tissues were affected by the various foods they consumed, and recourse was had to horses. The establishment now utilizes the blood of seventy-six horses, and has a trained corps of more than aifty men employed in this one work, pro- ducing at present about 2,000 doses per day and by the end of this month it will supply any demand. It is absolutely requisite that the horses be young, vigorous and physically perfect, and no racing stud was ever better housed. exercised, fed and cared for. Every new horse is carefully isolated for a time to test for inherent disease, however slight, that might be transmitted to the human body. A surprising ‘quantity of blood can be drawn from a strong, healthy horse, rurning up to 10 liters, 21.13 pints, in two days, and one horse was used for four years, and is still in goed condition. The anti-toxine improves with age, at least during the first two months, and the Ger- man physicians no longer use it fresh,when it ig apt to cause a skin eruption. An early application, however, is of the utmost im- portance. In 72 cases of children treated within two days of the first appearance of diphtheria but two cases were fatal, and the death rate in such cases is placed at 4 per cent. In Germany, where the fa- tal cases used to average @ per cent, and not less than 50,000 lives were annually sacrificed to the diphtheria scourge, the mortality has been reduced to less than one-fourth, and it will be still further re- duced when the country physicians use it freely. A serious epidemic of diphtheria at Trieste has been practically mastered by anti-toxine. —_——_—_—-2+_______. Confirmations. The Senate has confirmed the following nominations: Col. Guido N. Lieber, to be judge advo- cate general of the army, with the rank of brigadier general. Edward K. Lowry of Ohio, to be second secretary of the legation at Peking, China.

Next week, ‘n the Police Court, Prose- cuting Attorney Pugh will have to defend the liquor law against an attack which is to be made by Lawyer Joseph Shillington, and the question the court will have to de- cide is one of much interest to the liquor sellers who do business under a retail li- cense and who sell liquor to be taken away or delivered to the purchasers. The ques- tion to be raised is whether or not a retail dealer is permitted under the law to make sales not to be drunk on the premises. Mr. Pugh, for the District, will contend that they have no such right under the law. Under this contention a saloon keéper has no right to sell a pint of liquor in a bottle and allow it to be taken off the premises, nor can he engage in the business of serving peopie who “rush the growler™* unless he has a wholesale license in addi- tion to the retail license. Under the law a wholesale dealer has the right to sell liquor in quantities not less than one pint, not to be drunk on the premises, and the license fee for this is in making the distinction between whole- sale and retail places the law says: “Every place where intoxicating liquors are sold to be drunk on the premises shall, for the® purposes of this act, be considered a bar- room.” ‘The act regulating sales in barrooms pro- vides that the liquor must be served in quantities of five gallons or less, to be drunk on the premises. It has always been the custom of retail liquor dealers to sell buckets of beer, to be taken fiom their places, and also to sell pint and half-pint bottles of whisky and brandy, to be taken away. In many saloons pint bottles filled with liquor are kept in stock, and a sign calling attention to the fact that the consumers may need a bottle for Sunday is displayed. These sales, the wholesale men claim, in- terfere with their right, and they are com- plaining that they are entitled to protection frm the retail dealers. For the purpose of having this point de- termined Mr. Pugh has commenced prose- cution against Herman Thurm, who has a bottling place in connection with his bar- rcom business. * In order to get evidence in the case Po- liceman Branson purchased a box of beer and had it delivered by the dealer. ‘As already stated, the question is an in- teresting one to the keepers of drinking places, and if the court decides against them it will result in many of them paying the $250 tax in addition to the $400 which they now pay for the privilege ot se!"ing by the drink. The case will be heard next week. —— MINISTER KATO’S OPINION. Has Doubts That Corea’s King Has Been Assassinated. Takaa Ki Kato, Japanese minister to England, was in Omaha half an hour last night, en route. He discussed at length the situation between the warring factions, and was enthusiastic over the prospects of his country to force China to accept her terms. The minister was handed a tel- egram, which contained the news of tne rumored assassination of the King of Co- rea. It was the first advices he had had. “I doubt whether the king was assassi- nated,” ventured the minister. “There would be nothing gained by it. In case he is dead, the government of Japan will place his second son on the throne. The pres- ent ruler of Corea is what you Americans would call ‘no good.’ He will, in all prob- ability, be eventually deposed, but in the proper manner. The Queen of Corea is a very jealous woman, and it is rumored in Japan that she instituted the sudden death of a concubine who was the mother of the second son of the king, who is heir appar- ent to the throne. The queen fears she will lose her influence. The King of Corea has one legal wife, a chief concubine and a large number of other concubines.
